Award bid - janitorial services for City Hall, Police/Fire Building, Public Library and Carnegie Building for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 This was the time and place set for award of the bid for janitorial services for the City Hall, Police/Fire Building, Public Library and Carnegie Building for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991. City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a memo from Clerk of the Com- mission Sullivan containing a tabulation of the costs of janitorial service for these four City buildings over the past few years. He indicated that, even though the amounts bid are higher than in past years, a conversation with Mr. Gary Griffith, at the School District, revealed that the amounts bid are well within the gul.delines he follows when determining the costs for janitorial services. The City Manager noted that this bid reflects a substantial increase in the costs for janitorial services for the Police/Fire Building and the Public Library. He then suggested that he would like to discuss the possibility of having these buildings cleaned only five days a week rather than six days, as specified In the bid documents, which could decrease the costs. He recommended that the Commission award the bid to Davis Maintenance, and authorize him to sign the contract documents following discussions and possible negotiations 06-26-89 ,~;,.(. ; '" - 2 - on the scope of services and accompanying costs. Commissioner Martel asked If the Commission can make a bid award when only one bid has been received. City Attorney Becker responded that this item was duly advertised. He then in- dicated that, as long as the single bid received provides a competitive price, it can be ac- cepted. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the bid for janitorial services for the City Hall, Police/ Fire Building, Public Library and Carnegie Building for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 be awarded to Davis Maintenance, Bozeman, Montana, in the bid amount of $23,340 per year, subject to satisfactory dis- cussions with the City Manager, it being the only bid received. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commis- sioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrun9, Commissioner Hawks and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Renewal of Gaming Licenses - various establishments - June 1 through September 30, 1989 City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a list of 19 establishments which have submitted applications, along with the required fees, for renewal of gaming licenses for video draw poker machines, electronic keno/bingo machines and live card tables. The City Manager then recommended that the Commission approve the renewal of the following- listed gaming licenses: APPLICATIONS FOR GAMING LICENSES for the period July 1 through September 30, 1989 Banana Bay Bar & Grill 5 poker machines 2825 West Main Street 2 keno machines $ 175.00 Benny's 302 E.

He then asked if the additional machines have been reflected in these appl ications. The City Manager reminded the Commission that these applications are for the peri- od July 1 through September 30, 1989. He then indicated that letters were sent to the establishments last week; and they must respond within a week, showing proof of when the additional machines were installed or pay the license fee from January 1, 1989. He stated that the application listed under the Consent Items is in response to one of the letters sent. He stated that since two separate fiscal years and licensing periods are involved, these appl ications for licenses must be kept separate. It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, that the Commission approve the renewal of Gaming Licenses as listed for the period July 1 through September 30, 1989. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks, Com- missioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. 06-26-89 f . - 4 - Appointment to CDBG Loan Review Committee City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a memo from the CDBG Loan Re- view Committee, along with a copy of Commission Resolution No. 2569, noting that Planner Arkell is present to respond to any questions. He Indicated that in the memo, the Com- mittee recommends that Tom Simkins be appointed to replace Lars Ericson. In response to a question from Commissioner Vant Hull, Planner Arkell stated this vacancy was not advertised. Commissioner Vant Hull then noted the Committee was originally established with broad representation in mind. She expressed concern about the proposal to replace a craftsman with a lumber salesman. She also noted that Mr. Lars Ericson was also a mem- ber of the Housing Coalition, therefore, the low-income members of the community were represented as well. She indicated that she feels low-income representation should be maintained. In response to a question from Mayor Stiff, Planner Arkell stated the original Com- mittee members were selected in 1985, after Commission Resolution No. 2569 was adopted. She stated that former City employees Mike Money and Chris Pazder used guidelines estab- lished by the State of Montana Department of Commerce in determining the fields of exper- tise to be represented on the Committee; and they selected members from a financial insti- tution, a realtor, an attorney, a construction person, and an employee of the City's Fi- nance Department. She noted this provided a broad-based committee of five to review the applications and make decisions. The Planner then stated that Lars Ericson has not at- tended any meetings for over a year; and the Committee has indicated a desire to replace him with someone who will attend meetings. She noted that Mr. Simkins has indicated a willingness to serve on the Committee. Commissioner Martel stated support for the Committee's recommendation. He noted that Mr. Ericson has not been actively involved in the construction trade for eight to ten years, but has served as business representative for the local union. He then noted that Mr. Simkins has not been involved in construction directly; however, he has been involved in the sale of supplies and can recognize whether estimates are realistic. Commissioner Hawks stated he feels it is important to have the construction indus- try represented on the Committee. He then suggested that if low-income representation is determined desirable, the Committee could be expanded to include six members, with one being a low-Income individual. Commissioner Goehrung noted the Resolution establishes the manner In which mem- bers will be appointed to this Committee. He then indicated that the staff and Committee have carefully reviewed this situation and possible appointees, after which it has submitted Its recommendation for Commission action. 06-26-89 f - 5 - Commissioner Martel asked if the State guidelines establish the size and composition of the Committee. Planner Arkell responded they do not. She noted, however, that about two years ago, the Committee discussed Increasing the size and decided not to, noting it is difficult enough to get five people to a meeting, let alone seven. It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Hawks, that the Commission appoint Tom Simkins to replace Lars Ericson on the Community Development Block Grant Loan Review Committee. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Stiff; those voting No being Commissioner Vant Hull. Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the issue of increasing the membership on the CDBG Loan Review Committee should be discussed. Commissioner Goehrung indicated if the Committee is expanded, there should be seven members, which would retain the odd number of members. He noted one of those members could be a low-income individual. He stated an alternative would be to wait until a vacancy occurs and replace that individual with a low-income person. Commissioner Vant Hull suggested the Committee could be expanded to six members, asking how often they incur a tie vote. Planner Arkell responded that the Committee seldom has tie votes, since the issues and decisions are very technical. She noted that if the City is successful in obtaining an- other housing rehabilitation grant and several applications are in competition I it could pos- sibly become more of a problem. Mayor Stiff indicated he is unprepared to discuss this issue at this time, suggesting that Commissioner Vant Hull could request it as a future agenda item. Commissioner Vant Hull requested that discussion of the size and composition of the Community Development Block Grant Loan Review Committee be placed on the July 10 agenda. Discussion - FY I Items City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Informa- tion" items. (1) Agenda for the City-County Planning Board meeting to be held tonight. (2) Agenda and packet for the Zoning Commission meeting to be held on Tues- day, June 27, at 7:00 p.m. (3) City Manager's weekly report, as follows. ( 1) The Board of Adjustment denied First Security Bank's request for a variance on the property located at the corner of South 11th Avenue and West College Street; and that firm has subsequently withdrawn their application for a Conditional Use Permit for that site. Planner Epple noted this same 06-26-89 , - 6 - process was followed in 1983, at which time both the variance and the CU P were approved. (2) The City has signed an agreement with the Sinclair Station at the corner of North 7th Avenue and Durston Road for additional right-of-way for a left-turn lane on the west side of the Intersection. (3) Administration conducted bargaining sessions with each of the four groups this past week. (4) Staff is currently working on the budget for Fiscal Year 1989-90; and it will be distributed to the Commission some time after the first of July. (5) The contractor has been authorized to begin testing in preparation for calling for bids for Lyman Creek Improvements, Phase II. (6) The test well at Lindley Park has been com- pleted. The well is drilled to 320 feet; and water was found at 200 feet. Evaluation of the well will be completed In the next two weeks. (7) Director of Publ ic Service Forbes attended a landfill seminar in Billings on Sub-Title D of the RCRA regulations. At that meeting, members of the DNRC noted the good job done in operating Bozeman's landfill. (8) The opening session for the Wally Byam Rally is tonight. (9) Another round of test- ing has been completed in conjunction with repair of the I P beds at the Waste Water Treat- ment Plant. Results will be available in the next few weeks. (10) The City began using Hyalite Lake water this past week. The biggest water usage day so far was the day of the Rodeo parade. (11) The Finance Department personnel are beginning year-end closing activities. (12) Status report on the 9-1-1 system. Mr. Clark Robinson is in the process of developing a plan for the 9-1-1 system. All calls from telephones with the prefix 585, 586, 587 and 994 will go to the Police Department and all other calls in the County wi II go to the Sheriff's Office, since the costs of equipment to divide calls between City and County is much higher than the City could afford. Those calls going to the Police Depart- ment from outside the city but within the Bozeman prefix will be split, with those outside the City's jurisdictional area being transferred to the County for response. The City Manager reminded the Commission that 25 cents per month per telephone bill is being placed in a fund for this 9-1-1 system and will be dispersed according to the number of users, which should generate about $35,000 annually for the City's share. The City does < need to purchase some new equipment for this activity; and it will take two to three years to pay for those costs. A copy of the plan has been forwarded to US West for their re- view and comments. (13) Members from the National Science Foundation are in Bozeman this week to review the proposal submitted by a professor at Montana State University. If successful, MSU could receive over $10 million in the next five-year period, when all the matching funds are included. (14) After the article in the Friday Issue of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, the City has issued 19 dog and cat licenses. The canvas will begin to- morrow. Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the canvas include distribution of infor- mation sheets, including such things as the leash law and the requirement to pick up after dogs in the parks. (15) Announcement of a CDBG public hearing to be held on Wednesday 06-26-89 , , - 7 - night at 7:00 p.m. This is an informational meeting for those who may be interested in making applications for the September cut-off for applications. This is to be a joint meet- ing being conducted by the City and the County. This is the first time that a govern- mental entity may sponsor an economic development application and a housing rehabilitation or public facilities application in the same cycle. Planning Director Epple noted it is antic- ipated this will be an extremely competitive cycle, with many more applications than monies available. (4) Commissioner Hawks noted he and Commissioner Goehrung have discussed the possibility of including property maintenance as a part of the beautification effort with City staff. He encouraged the City to begin enforcement of maintaining vacant lots quickly so It can be effective this summer. He noted that Phoenix, Arizona, recently received an award as an All American City; and a part of the reason was their good ordinance on prop- erty maintenance. He then suggested that the City Manager write to the City of Phoenix and request a copy of that ordinance. (5) Commissioner Hawks asked about the status of the sign ordinance, noting it should be completed shortly so the consultants can review it and include it in the zoning ordinance. He noted it appears that a lengthy legal review is still pending on the docu- ment. Planning Director Epple noted the consultant will focus on the Master Plan, after which rewriting of the Zone Code will begin. He then suggested that the legal review be completed prior to the consultant's visit in mid-July. City Manager Wysocki asked if review of the sign ordinance is to be a part of the consultant's process. Planning Director Epple reviewed that portion of the revised contract with the con- sultant, noting that a part of their duties is to review the sign ordinance. The City Manager cautioned that since the zoning code will generate substantial dis- cussion and since the sign ordinance is a volatile issue, the two should be handled sepa- rately rather than together. In response to questions, Planning Director Andy Epple indicated the consultant is tentatively scheduled to arrive on July 13 or 14, leaving late in the following week. He indicated he will distribute information to the Commission as soon as possible. He further indicated a willingness and intent to advertise the public meetings at least ten days prior to those dates to provide adequate notice to those interested. He also indicated he will prepare an agenda, which he will distribute to the Commissioners later this week. Commissioner Goehrung suggested that copies of the goals and objectives be made available for public review at the Public Library as well as the MSU Library prior to that week. 06-26-89 . . - 8 - (6) Commissioner Vant Hull noted she has been concerned about possible con- flicts of interest on the City-County Planning Board. She stated a long conversation with Roger Craft revealed that he has written to the City Attorney requesting a legal interpre- tation, but he has not yet received an answer. City Attorney Becker stated he is researching the issue but has not yet prepared a response. (7) Commissioner Goehrung Indicated he has received verbal confirmation that his scholarship application for the Center for the Improvement of Public Management has been approved. He then requested that his attendance at the Center be placed on the July 10 agenda for action. (8) Commissioner Goehrung stated that he has received official notification from the Montana Arts Council on the City's application. He then requested an agenda item for July 10 to discuss the possible expansion of the Arts Advisory Committee membership as well as expanding the duties to include oversight of the cultural plan. (9) Commissioner Goehrung indicated that Director of Public Service Forbes has stated that on Friday, at 7:30 a.m., a three and one-half ton truck of garbage will be dumped in an area separate from that currently being used. He noted that the garbage will then be split by hand into various categories. He stated this is in anticipation of the conference to be held in Seattle and will provide some background information when con- sidering various options. (10) Mayor Stiff stated he has received telephone calls concerning the shooting of fireworks inside city limits, which is prohibited. He then suggested that some type of news article could make the public aware of this prohibition and possibly eliminate some of the problem. The City Manager indicated that staff will pursue that issue. (11) Planning Director Epple stated that BRW has signed the revised contract document to performing the planning and zoning consultant services; and he anticipates the Chairman of the City-County Planning Board will sign it tonight. He thanked the City Attorney for his revisions to the document, noting they have been accepted by the consul- tant. (12 ) Planning Director Epple indicated that the Planning Board will review the City Commission's suggested revisions to the goals and objectives to be contained in the Master Plan at tonight's meeting, which begins at 7:00 p.m. He noted that copies of the revised document were included in the Commissioners' packets; and copies of the cover memos which were sent to the County Commissioners and Planning Board members were distributed just prior to the meeting. The Planning Director stated he spent approximately one and one-half hours this 06-26-89 ~ . , , - 9 - morning reviewing the City's proposed changes with two of the County Commissioners, not- ing some of the suggestions appeared acceptable while others will require discussion. He then suggested that following tonight's meeting, the City-County Planning Board should submit its finalized goals and objectives to the governing bodies for action. Planning Director Epple then stated that a conversation with Mayor Stiff revealed that one of the items listed under the goals and objectives should have been included in the cover memo rather than in the document. He indicated that is listed as Objective 7. E. under the Environment, Aesthetic and Natural Resource Goals and Their Objectives. He stated that he will ask the Planning Board and County Commission to discuss it as if it were listed in the memo rather than in the goals and objectives. Mayor Stiff expressed concern with the language of the objective, which reads "Pursue property exchanges and purchases that are aimed at preserving or rehabilitating historic sites, ridgelines, stream corridors, areas of natural beauty, viewsheds, and parklands. II He noted it appears to establish a mandatory requirement which the City may be unable to keep. The Commissioners discussed various ways to revise the objective so Its concept is retained but the mandatory provision is eliminated. The Planning Director reminded the Commission that the Planning Board may not accept all of the revisions they have proposed. Discussion - possible adoption of resolution re primary election City Manager Wysocki stated that Commissioner Vant Hull had requested this item be added to the agenda. City Attorney Becker distributed to the Commission copies of Section 13-14-115, Montana Code Annotated. He noted that in 1985, the Legislature adopted a bill which al- lows local governments to not hold a non-partisan primary election under certain circum- stances. He indicated that if the requirements of Subsections (3) (a) and (3) (b) are met, then the Commission must adopt a resolution within seven days after the close of filing stating that a primary election need not be held. He then reminded the Commission that the close of filing is 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 29; therefore, this resolution must be adopted not later than July 6. He noted that since the Commission determined not to con- duct the regular July 3 meeting, there will not be a regular Commission meeting between the close of the filing period and July 6. Commissioner Hawks expressed two concerns about conducting a primary election if one is not necessary: (1) the cost to the City, and (2) the need for candidates to con- duct two separate campaigns, one for the primary and one for the general election. The Commissioners then discussed interpretation of the code, and how many candld- 06-26-89 . . . - 10 - ates could file without requiring a primary election. Following the discussion, the City Attorney indicated he will contact the State Elections Office to get an interpretation of the statute. Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commission could adopt a resolution at this time, indicating a primary election is not needed. She noted the resolution could then be enacted if needed and dropped if not needed. City Attorney Becker expressed concern about adopting a resolution prior to close of filing. He indicated that he could draft such a resolution if directed to do so by the Commission; however, he would not approve it. Following discussion, the Commission concurred it would be best to recess this meet- ing to 8:00 a.m. on Friday, after the close of filing, to consider adoption of this reso- lution if appropriate. Consent Items City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following Consent Items. Application for Gamin~ License - The Crystal Bar, 123 East Main Street - one electronic eno machine, through June 30, 1989 Claims It was moved by Commissioner Hawks, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Consent Items be approved as listed above, and the appropriate persons be authorized and directed to complete the necessary actions. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Com- missioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Recess- 3:25 p.m. Mayor Stiff declared a recess at 3:25 p.m., to reconvene at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 1989, for the purpose of continuing discussion on possible adoption of a resolu- tion concerning the upcoming primary election. Reconvene - 8:00 a.m. Mayor Stiff reconvened the meeting at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 1989, in the Conference Room, Municipal Building, for the purpose of continuing discussion on possible adoption ofa resolution concerning the upcoming primary election. Continued discussion - possible adoption of resolution re primary election City Manager Wysocki presented Commission Resolution No. 2754, as prepared by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2754 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, 06-26-89 , , ~" , . - 11 - MONTANA, DECLARING THAT A PRIMARY ELECTION FOR ELECTION YEAR 1989 NOT BE HELD PURSUANT TO SECTION 13-14-115, MONTANA CODE ANNOTATED. The City Manager stated that five people filed for the three Commission seats which are open th is election period; and under the provis ions of Section 13-14-115, Montana Code Annotated, not more than seven people could file without requiring a primary election be held. He then stated that adoption of this resolution will allow the City to enact the pro- visions of that statute. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2754, stating a primary election will not be held. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung. Commissioner Hawks and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Discussion - FY I Items City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission the following "For Your Informa- tion items. (1) A memo from Planning Director Epple to the City Commission and the County Commission concerning the City-County Planning Board's action on the goals and objectives for the Master Plan. Planning Director Epple stated that, following discussion at its meeting on Monday night, the Planning Board voted to forward the goals and objectives as contained in their May 15 draft. He noted that both governing bodies were encouraged to forward to the consultants any revisions which they feel should be considered and possibly incorporated into the list as prepared by the Planning Board. The Planning Director stated he felt that the Planning Board was exhausted after working on the goals and objectives for nearly fifteen months; and the revisions submitted by the City Commission may have overwhelmed them when they thought the task was near- ly complete. He did indicate surprise that the Planning Board decided to forward their document and encourage submittal of separate documents by the governing bodies rather than encouraging the local governing bodies to reach agreement on one document to be forwarded to the consultant. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that at the Planning Board meeting, two of the mem- bers spoke strongly in favor of submitting one document only which has been agreed upon by all parties; however, they were in the minority. Mayor Stiff asked if receipt of different set of goals and objectives could be con- strued as expanding the work of the professional consultants. Planning Director Epple indicated the contract Indicates they will review the goals and objectives as submitted by the Planning Board, and that the final document will con- 06-26-89 i- ... ... 1 t . - 12 - tain a section on goals and objectives. He noted that to receive different sets of goals and obje<:tives may require additional review and compilation time; however, it will not cost any additional monies. Commissioner Martel expressed concern that the governing bodies might be sending the consultant a mixed signal by forwarding different documents, noting a single agreed-upon document would be better. Commlssi.oner Hawks stated that he met with County Commissioner Pruitt on Wednes- day to. review the Commission's proposed revisions. He noted that conversation revealed that both County Commissioners Pruitt and Jelinski are in general agreement with most of the City's proposed changes, except for some refinement of language and terminology. Commissioner Hawks then addressed the single concern raised by a Commissioner during Monday's discussion on this item. He noted that Mayor Stiff had raised concern about his recommended addition concerning "pursuing property exchanges or purchases". He stated he had intended that this would be done only when in the community's best in- terests, at the City's discretion, not as a mandatory action. Commissioner Goehrung suggested that to forward a different document to the con- sultant from the one forwarded by the Planning Board and possibly the County Commission could reflect those areas where there is a difference in philosophy or possibly areas which may require additional attention. He also suggested that the differences in those docu- ments could be discussed at the time of public comment. Mayor Stiff asked if the Information to be forwarded to the consultant by the City is the same as that which was forwarded to the Planning Board. Planning Director Epple indicated it will be the same as the document dated June 19, except for any modifications the Commission may make at this time. Mayor Stiff reiterated his concern about Objective No. 7E under Environment, Aes- thetic and Natural Resource Goals and Their Objectives. He suggested that the word "pursue" be changed to "encourage", which will more accurately reflect the City'S intent. Commissioner Hawks indicated support for that revision; and the Commission concurred. Commissioner Hawks then asked If the information contained in the memo will be submitted in such a manner that it will not be considered as secondary to the revisions contained in the listing of the goals and objectives. Planning Director Epple indicated he plans to slightly revise the cover memo sent to the County Commission and the City-County Planning Board and forward it to BRW along with a copy of the revised goals and objectives. He then assured the Commission that the memo can be written in such a way that It stresses that these items are as important as those contained in the accompanying document. The Planning Director stated that he has not yet received a finalized schedule for the consultant's visit to Bozeman. He noted that they do stili plan to arrive on July 13 or 06-26-89 :;- " .', [ ... - 13 - .\ 14 and do their community meetings during the week of July 17. The Planning Director then noted that submitting different documents will create more work and require more of the consultant's time than may have been anticipated. He noted that this will also probably result in the consultant working with the governing bodies to determine what is acceptable to both. Commissioner Hawks stated he feels the consultant will anticipate a diversity of opinion, especially from a western Montana community. He noted that sending different documents will reflect the political differences and may help the consultant in addressing those issues. In response to a question from Commissioner Vant Hull, Planning Director Epple in- dicated that the language she had proposed for the mission statement could be included at the beginning of the listing of the goals and objectives, so it is readi Iy available for con- sultant review. It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, that the Commission authorize and direct the staff to forward the City's revisions to the City- County Planning Board's goals and objectives to the consultant for consideration. The mo- tion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. (2) A copy of the May 1989 snowpack and precipitation report, as prepared by the Soi I Conservation Service. Commissioner Martel asked for weekly water updates, as have been provided the past few years. The City Manager indicated he plans to include that item in his verbal report to the Commission each week; the Commission concurred that would be appropriate. He then in- dicated that he does not anticipate the need for water restrictions at this time, noting that the City began using Hyalite Reservoir water approximately 45 days later this year than last year. (3) Announcement of a Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee meeting to be held at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 5, at the GranTree Inn. Adjournment - 8:35 a.m. There being no further business to come before the Commission at this, time, it was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Hawks, that the meeting be adjourned. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Goehrun9, Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. 06-26-89 ---.- -- -..- .w'..,," ---, -~..-
